Do I have to sign a waiver?
Yes, an electronic version of the waiver is required to be read and agreed to prior to your payment. The paper format will be required as well in person. All guests are asked to read the release of liability and waiver ; when in person, the lead guide will bring a paper copy to read, understand and sign as well.
Staff and Guest Screening
